I'm getting ready to place my weekly order to $pruce.   Included this week is the Matco parking brake (new style).

 

 I should also order a push/pull type of cable to operate with it. So what cables have been used so far this job?  Any complaints with your choice?

 

 Also, I'd think that loading the arm on the brake with a small spring to swing the brake open would be a good idea?  Touching down with the brakes on isn't something I'd like to try in my RV-10.

When you get the FWF kit, it will come with an extra push/pull  for the parking brake. If you get it from Spruce be sure to remove that extra  cable (used for the Carb) from your order. Think it's the CT-740.

 No idea about the need for a spring. I think there is enough  friction to not need it..

I used a Bowden cable; all the way forward ,against the stop,  the valve is open. Pulled aft with pressure applied to the brakes, sets the  parking brake. I used a clic bond with stud and Adel clamp on the fuselage  sidewall to properly move the Matco brake lever

I used the Bowden type cable with the "T" handle and  push button lock/release available from AS.  I wanted this cable to be  different from all the others in the quadrant of controls.

  

 I did not use any extra springs; the valve seems to hold  well and releases easily with release of the handle.  Often times when I  "added" some option I thought I needed they turned out to be not that  useful.  This is one that I use often and works well.

I originally thought that a spring would be a good idea, as well. Haven't flown yet but I'm now satisfied that a spring isn't required.
